Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2010 BMW 328i?
The 2010 BMW 328i is already equipped with factory D1S HID/Xenon headlights. Since HID technology already provides exceptional brightness, we recommend staying with high-quality OEM replacement bulbs rather than attempting an LED retrofit for the primary headlights. However, the H8 LED fog lights are typically halogen and are excellent candidates for an LED upgrade to match the color temperature of your HID headlights.
